Two types of hospitalization are possible depending on the surgical procedure : outpatient (same-day) hospitalization and conventional (inpatient) hospitalization.
Conventional hospitalization
If your procedure requires extended monitoring, you will be admitted to the surgical ward.
Depending on the complexity of the operation or your health status, care in a high-dependency (intermediate care) unit may be considered for at least the first night to ensure close monitoring.
As soon as your condition allows, you will return to your room to continue postoperative care.
Nurses, nursing assistants, stoma therapists, physiotherapists, and the medical team provide continuous care 24 hours a day.
Outpatient hospitalization
Some procedures are suitable for outpatient care, meaning you can return home the same day.
You will be admitted in the morning, undergo surgery במהלך the day, and then be monitored for a few hours in the recovery room.
Discharge home is authorized after medical validation, along with clear instructions. This approach allows a faster return to daily life while ensuring safety and high-quality postoperative follow-up.
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS)
This protocol aims to accelerate recovery while reducing complications and length of hospital stay through a multidisciplinary, patient-centered approach.
The Bordeaux Colorectal Institute applies the principles of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS).
Key principles of ERAS :
- Optimized preparation before surgery (information, nutrition, physical activity),
- Early mobilization after the procedure,
- Rapid resumption of oral intake,
- Effective management of pain and nausea,
- Close coordination between surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, physiotherapists, and dietitians.
This program, initiated before surgery, continues throughout hospitalization and until your return home, promoting full recovery and a faster return to independence.
Your care pathway
At the end of your consultation or during your hospitalization, your surgeon may offer you the opportunity to participate in a research protocol.
This may include participation in a study evaluating a new surgical device, a new way of using it, innovative surgical techniques, or personalized therapeutic strategies, among others.
